" Why is it that you don't believe that UNC can have irgood foot ball team and also a good educa tional system? It seems that you want a one-sided, warped school rather than a well rounded one. We think that we ought to have both. We are also sick and tired of your slandering the alumni of this great school. Our alumni have been most loyal to us in every respect. They are interested in what we are doing, and they Con tribute thousands of dollars to both the educational and the ath letic programs of UNC. They want to see that their money is being used to the best possible advan tage. Does this sound too unrea sonable? .

I hope we students will ben efit from our mistake and never three months of casual diagnosis? The majority of Yves' experience is based upon the fact that-four of 6,000 UNC students are Negroes, not from ob serving the fierce economic competition between evenly divided races in some counties of eastern North Carolina.

Rueben Leonard WHILE ALL interested per sons waited for the outcome of Tuesday night's meeting of the University Athletic Council, there was much speculation over the future of Carolina's athletic poli cy in general and Coach George Barclay's job m particular. As usual, the armchair quarterbacks had their second-guess say. The pro-Tatum forces predict ed two members on the Council would prevent any bargaining with Sunny Jim. The pro-Barclay group said that Barclay would probably be retained on a one year contract with next year be ing his "win or else" year. ' PROBABLY THE most humor ous tale to come out of the rumor filled rooms was the statement that Big Jim will eventually come to Chapel Hill and stay. It seems that Tatum has purchased a plot in a Chapel Hill cemetary.

A DUKE student I talked to in a West Durham dope shop had , an interesting comment to make. , lie j said-1 Barclay should have "bought'' better players like Duke had.
